Teams on the one flight connected in Miami, and might have made the mistake there.

But why a team could have done that whereever they exchanged currency when they should have remembered they were headed to Chile suggests a violation of the crucial rule to read the frakking clue completely.

If this is the case, it makes me wonder about about Jeff/Jordan, they both said during BB that they were horrible at reading/listening to ALL the directions during school and in the BB comps.

Cause you said you'd never let me go, and I said I can but now we knowThat it's too hard to say three words, too hard to make it workWhen there's nothing left to talk about, cause you know the flame is running outTwo hearts are left to burn... do you know, we're only left with smoke

Yeah, it'll be hilarious -- for us, that is. I don't think it'll be hilarious for the team who makes the bad error. But unless it's either Dana or Adrian who makes the error, it most likely won't be a game-ending error.

I'm gonna post this one here since we are pretty sure this is the first episode

The teams of the CBS series "The Amazing Race 16" perform "Active Route Marker" in Valparaiso, Chile in which they must find a ladder and 2 cans of paint, then search for a picturesque house matching their particular color to paint, in order to receive their next clue.

Yeah, that seems very likely, but at least we have TWO tasks after getting to the first destination city, unlike last season, when there was only one task in Japan (of course there was the starting-line elim. back then.)

I haven't seen that terminology before, but it does seem to be a general task that is not a detour, roadblock (or speedbump) which teams have to complete to receive the next clue.

I agree with you, but who knows, maybe CBS did something new in this race?

Sounds like Adrian/Dana may have goofed with switching the RB person....

Wonder if anyone took a ride with someone in LA? Normally they are not allowed to, but remember the tweet about the guy who wouldn't give a team a ride?

The penalty for using privately owned transportation is 30 minutes. I can't remember which season or leg at the moment, but I do remember Phil having to assess a penalty at the mat on a team for hitching a ride in a private vehicle.
